Solid rattle underneath ?

[ThomasG]

No, I've not sold it...its been driving so well, I don't want to!

However, there is a clunking, heavy rattle on the roads here. Unclassified and B roads mainly. 

Seems to go away at speed and on the A roads. 

I have an MOT due so they may find the cause, but I thought I'd check in here first. 

Any ideas??

Could it be a broken exhaust rubber/hanger, loose exhaust heat shield, engine mount or gearbox mount or worn suspension arms?

LOL - indeed!! I can't get under it, so I'll have to see what the garage says 🙂

Sorry, I forgot to give the update to this!!

Mechanic's txt: "Anti roll bar link, also broken exhaust bracket and rear exhaust heat shield, but rattle was arb link"

MOT missed them all!! But all ok now and running well.
